I use the Different Artist with a match quality of 50/60 depending. Might actually go back at some future date and add the Popularity as i see it may come in handy when i want to create a more mainstream playlist ect, oh well. I never actually added the 'popularity' data when i scanned in my library, i skipped the Lyrics, Language also figured i wouldn't use it and it would cut down the analysis time a bit. I have run my library of a little over 100K songs through Beatunes and 40% don't have an mood Data so probably not that good but it does throw up some interesting lists and Beatunes is pretty awesome a showing you your own Music again through different eyes which is pretty amazing to me :) Mood yeah i hear you and thanks for the information about Mood. Not trying to shill for another App but i hope Hendrick won't mind me saying i would highly highly recommend the Dancability tags from MIK because 90% of the time they feel about right. I use Mixed In Key to add the Dancability Tags because frankly Beatunes is utterly totally and completely useless at this, sorry but its terrible and wouldn't use it to Tag with so thats done MIK and Beatunes then used that Data ect. Thanks for your valuable Vibe one(above) is the one i seem to use the most, select 2-3 tunes and have it spit out a list of 50 or so throws up a playlist you could 'mostly' create a pretty decent vibe to create a DJ set from for example where your BPM can vary a lot the playlist still fits together ect. Maybe I'm using it wrong? How does this rule work? I would expect this Rule to just alternate the artists in any playlist (if possible), but it's not very powerful. I made a rule-set with Different Artist as its only Rule (strength = 1), and when I click Order Playlist by this rule-set, it fails to order the songs by alternating artists it still ends the playlist with 3 or 4 consecutive Metallica songs. Sometimes I have a Matchlist with half the songs by let's say Metallica and the other half of the songs by all different artists. However, the Different Artist rule doesn't always prove to be useful. Hendrik, I have another question: the Different Album rule really delivers.
Not using the BPM rule results in more dynamic playlists in my experience. Same for BPM, it yields results that go all over the place. I believe the algorithm is not very reliable (yet). Often I feel a song has schwung but scores very low on Danceability - or vice versa. So I don't use this Rule.ĭanceability - for me - yields questionable results. In my experience, for less popular songs/artists, analyzing them for their Mood yields no results.
Hendrik once explained to me that this Rule is based on tags used by LastFM and AcousticBrainz. I see you use Mood as a Rule in your Matchlists. I most definitely also rate my songs, so that gives the desired results as well. That's cool - I mainly use this Rule as a catalyst for alternated album results in a Matchlist. I understand now that Popularity is based on how many beaTunes users own songs that are also featured in your own library. These Matchlist Settings also works extremely well for any other type of Matchlist featuring same or mixed artists within same or mixed genres. To end up with a one hour playlist of Metallica songs based on "Master of Puppets" according to my Matchlist preferences, I found that adding Popularity and Rating to the Rules (with individual strengths as seen in my initial screenshot) gives me the desired playlist (in all other Rule combinations I tried, the playlist ends with a block of 3 to 5 songs from. Since I mostly listen to heavy metal, my test seed song was Metallica's "Master of Puppets".
Very useful, as always.įor me it's important that a Matchlist contains songs that sound good together (similar key and color), but also that consecutive songs are from alternating albums.
